Former Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears offensive tackle Mike Adams has found the power of reinvention. Adams — a second-round draft choice by the Steelers in 2012 — is attempting a position switch to tight end.

Out of the NFL in 2017 and currently a free agent, Adams spent the time away from the game shedding weight and preparing for a permanent position switch from pass blocker to pass catcher. Adams told The Rivalry podcast that he is now at 255 pounds, down nearly 70 pounds from his NFL listed playing weight of 323.

That's quite a change, and Adams provided an explanation for his dramatic weight loss, tweeting: "Diet is key for weight loss mixed with good ol hard work in the weight room and yoga studio to get cut up."

This wouldn't be the first time that Adams has tried his hand at playing tight end. During the 2013 season — after being benched for a dismal performance trying to block the Minnesota Vikings' Jared Allen — Adams was utilized as a blocking tight end in a game later that year.
